RSL's nine wins against LA is tied for the second-most all-time for the club, which now owns a 10-10-4 mark against Chivas USA and a 9-10-8 record against the Colorado Rapids.

The Real Salt Lake Reserves played USL Pro side Phoenix FC to a scoreless draw in MLS Reserve League play at Rio Tinto Stadium on Monday night. Over 8,000 RSL fans attended the match at the Sandy, Utah facility - undoubtedly one of the largest crowds in MLS Reserve League history.

Three players - Phoenix FC GK Andrew Weber and DF Renan Boueflour and Real Salt Lake DF Kwame Watson-Siriboe - were shown straight red cards in first half stoppage time for their role in a melee. RSL put Phoenix under siege following the ejections, but were unable to find the back of the net despite outshooting the Wolves 24-4.

RIMANDO, MORALES UP FOR WEEKLY HONORS

Real Salt Lake GK Nick Rimando and MF Javier Morales are up for MLS Save of the Week and MLS Goal of the Week, respectively.

Rimando is nominated for his clutch penalty kick stop on Chivas USA MF Edgar Mejia in the first half of RSL's 1-0 win over the Goats on Saturday.

Morales is nominated for his headed winner in the second half of Saturday's game against Chivas. The Argentine playmaker started the play that led to the goal, picking up a loose ball near midfield before making a 60-yard run into the box to finish a cross from FW Alvaro Saborio.
